Abstract

Objectives: To assess the status of radiology subspecialisation recognition across Europe, targeting European Society of Radiology (ESR) National Societies.

Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to members of the ESR National Societies Committee regarding the recognition of radiology subspecialties in their respective countries.

Results: Responses were received from 37 out of 47 countries (78%). Radiology subspecialties are recognised in 25 countries, whereas in 12 countries, they are not. Among 12 countries without recognised subspecialisations, 9 expressed a desire for future recognition. There are large variations between countries regarding the number of officially recognised subspecialities, ranging from 0 to 12.

Conclusion: Based on responses from ESR National Societies Committee members, radiology subspecialties are recognised in 25 countries, while 12 countries do not have formal recognition. The majority of countries without recognised subspecialisations express interest in having them acknowledged in the future.

Critical relevance statement: This follow-up survey among ESR National Societies presents the recognition status of radiology subspecialisations in Europe. Among the 37 responding countries, there are significant variations in the number of officially recognised subspecialties, ranging from 0 to 12.

Key points: Among the 37 ESR National Societies responding countries, between 0 and 12 out of 13 radiology subspecialties are recognised. No country recognises all subspecialties. The majority of countries without recognised subspecialisations would like them to be acknowledged.

欧洲放射学的亚专业认可-由成像认证委员会和欧洲放射学会国家协会委员会进行的后续调查。

目的：以欧洲放射学会（ESR）国家学会为目标，评估整个欧洲放射学亚专业认可的现状。方法：向ESR国家协会委员会成员分发关于各自国家放射学亚专业认可的问卷。结果：在47个国家中，有37个国家（78%）收到了答复。放射学亚专科在25个国家得到承认，而在12个国家没有。在12个尚未得到承认的次专业的国家中，有9个表示希望在未来得到承认。在官方认可的亚专业数量方面，各国之间存在很大差异，从0到12不等。结论：根据ESR国家协会委员会成员的回应，放射学亚专科在25个国家得到承认，而12个国家没有正式承认。大多数没有得到承认的亚专业的国家表示有兴趣在未来得到承认。关键相关性声明：这项ESR国家协会的随访调查显示了欧洲放射学亚专业的认可状况。在37个作出答复的国家中，官方承认的亚专科数量有很大差异，从0到12不等。重点：在37个ESR国家协会回应的国家中，13个放射亚专业中有0到12个得到认可。没有一个国家承认所有的专科。大多数没有公认的次专业的国家都希望它们得到承认。
